Kids Just Like You!
Science fairs have taught me how to write proper research papers and how to orally present. These elements will surely come up in my future, and I can thank the Flint Science Fair for preparing me for these future endeavors.

Because of Flint Science Fair and its sponsors, I have become more motivated, more understanding, and grown in my belief in myself. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for the connections and friendships I made.

I’ve been doing science fairs since 4th grade, but have never had an experience like when I attended the International Science & Engineering Fair. By the Flint Regional Science Fair providing this amazing opportunity to students, they have opened a gateway for people like me to become inspired and to gain an understanding of the crucial role scientific research has on creating a better future.

ISEF Observer
Through science fairs, we’re meeting experts, academic researchers, and industry professionals and learning what being a scientist is all about. It can truly be a life-changing experience realizing how big the world is, how much “science” there is left to do, and how many amazing people are dedicated to finding novel solutions to these real-world problems.
